E55 Race car

Keep in mind its a race car. I'm sure this car would be a blast to drive on a road course. In any event, I found these pics on Evotech's facebook page. I think its pretty cool for what it is

Car looks REALLY SICK

But for all that effort, they lift the 5 speed auto in

Certainly not up to snuff for road racing, but then again she does look sick

Surprised someone has not come out with a similar option for this platform vs. the likely prohibitive $$$ Evosport version.

But beautiful craftsmanship, I like the flared rear wheels arches, Carbon Fiber roof and engine mods.

From a cosmetic stand point, this isn't something that you show up to at the bar in or take shopping. However for a grassroots racing league for the weekend racer its totally acceptable. I probably would have done an APR carbon wing.

On a much less cosmetic note. I've had people ask why I have mix match wheels at the drag strip. In the case of racing we all know there are acceptable times where function is more important than form. Being the best looking car has never helped take a podium on its own. With that said, I would drive it to the track event, do some racing, then drive it home. Where it would sit for the next event. Or trailer it.

Based on the placement of the foam filter, those hood scoops must be functional. Hopefully they have some heat shielding under and around the filter because hot air rises.

It doesn't really matter much. That filter setup is what I was thinking about a while back when I said to just put a filter on the TB in another topic. Superchargers HATE inlet restriction FAR more than they hate heat. You have two bad *** intercoolers taking care of the heat so hot air going into the throttle isn't that big of an issue.

Any info on the dyno numbers for this thing?
